Development of the program to prepare tool sets in flexibile manufacturing system

Abstract

For every NC program to be implemented in the production of flexible manufacturing system (FTS ), there must be a list of sets of tools to prepare for the machining process . The flexible technologies that are implemented through the execution of thousands of different operations in the processing parts of the complex geometry of the problem is relatively small series of settings of the tool is very important . This paper presents the concept of software systems for automated preparation of sets of tools for the production process in the FTS- in . The structure of the programming system is based on technology-based data elements set of tools and geometric parameters of technological processes contained in the NC program. Developed an original algorithm for forming sets and tools based on modern theories in terms of reduction of uncertainty , which allows for the practical application of software systems in the design of technological processes for FTS.
